A great way to start out a palm Sunday broadcast would be with something off of "Holy things are for the holy". You can download an MP of the show here.COLUMN OF HEAVEN - How Glorious This Hour (Iron Lung)The last Sunday of the month has Rob DJing and D'Arcy performing at a punk rock night at the Painted Lady. In honour of the show I try and put together an early scene shot from somewhere that we haven't really covered. I was interested by the Sydney scene in Australia when I read an interview with a filmaker who made a scene about this early scene called "Distorted". A free link for the documentary and trailer can be found at "Distorted: Reflections on early Sydney punk".

Tonight’s demo feature is a new band from Victoria called Azotobacter which features former members of Iskra, Shibboleth, No Eulogy, Sewer Rat, Stimpy, and Blood Nasty. This recording can be listened to at http://azotobacter.bandcamp.com.AZOTOBACTER - Restrained Detained (Self-Released)AZOTOBACTER - Crude Death (Self-Released)AZOTOBACTER - Rapacity (Self-Released)AZOTOBACTER - Middle Class Expectation (Self-Released)AZOTOBACTER - Alternate Option (Self-Released)

Recorded a couple of weeks back in studio 3 we got to document this little known band from here with some huge influences taking chances with Summer of Revolution DC scene material and Ebullition styled hardcore emo fusion. The sounds that Brauer come up with are familiar but have never been done in this way before. Innovative, captivating, and catchy with a nod to performance draws comparisons to Nation of Ulysses meets Fugazi meets Beefeater. Just bowled me over with a mash up sound that I didn't think existed and still don't really believe it had I not witnessed it for myself. You can hear the show above or download an MP3 here. BRAUER – Mumbo’s 1 through 4 (CIUT)BRAUER – Interview (CIUT)The band does a Jawbreaker cover which was particularly great when everyone in the studio just broke into the chorus.
